The GHG data displayed on the UNFCCC website are data from official submissions of GHG emissions/removals
data by countries that are Parties to the Climate Change Convention. The original version of the data as
submitted by Parties are available on the UNFCCC website at the following links:

For Annex I Parties, the latest submissions of GHG data can be found here;

For Annex I Parties, the source of the GHG projection's data can be found here;

For non-Annex I Parties, the usual source of GHG data is the national communication; the list of
submitted communications can be found here;

For some non-Annex I Parties, the source of GHG data is the biennial update report; the list of
submitted biennial update reports can be found here;

Some non-Annex I Parties have also made separate GHG data submissions to the UNFCCC secretariat; such
submissions are available here.

The UNFCCC data interface also contains data on population and gross domestic product (GDP). These data are
displayed on the GHG data interface with kind permission of the United Nations and the World Bank, which
are the primary sources of these data. They have certain policies in place concerning the use of their data
and these organizations must be consulted before downloading population and GDP data for further use. In
addition, data on country area is also provided on the interface.

For population data, the source is the UNSD Demographic Statistics accessible through the Common
Database of the United Nations.

For GDP (at market prices, constant 2005 US$) data, the primary source is the World Bank.

For country area data, the sources is the Statistical Database of the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

Note: Data availability for CO2, CH4, N2O is meant in this table; data
availability for HFCs, PFCs and SF6 varies considerably from Party to Party.

Note: NCI = initial national communication; NC2 = second national communication; NC3 = third national
communication; NC4 = fourth national communication; INV = separate GHG inventory; BUR1 = first biennial
update report. The "–" symbol indicates that data are not available, because either the
initial national communication is not yet available, or GHG data from the national communication have not
yet been processed and included in the database, or the national communication does not contain GHG
data.a Data are considered as available if data on CO2 emissions
without LUCF are available; the availability of data on other GHGs may be different.bThe GHG inventory submitted by Sierra Leone for the period 1990-1995
appears to contain technical errors, esp., for the Agriculture and LUCF Sectors. Therefore, this inventory
is currently not included in the data interface* The NCI does not contain GHG data.
